Roads Less Travelled, or are they

"Aramac and going out to Lake Dunn and noticed if you continued along this road you can get to Pentland via Lake Gallie and Lake Buchanan. "

Can't be done tried it.

Like many of these roads the gazetted road is not always there or if it is it's private property and your likely to get shot.

For example have a look here:

Lake Dunn @ OpenStreetMap

These are the roads that are accessible in the Lake Dunn area and are from gps surveys. Some of them are mine eg the road from Aramac to Lake Dunn to Laglan to Belyando crossing to Mount Coolon to Bowen.

Lake Dunn is a great camp ground but not on weekends and not during school holidays.

Got to reiterate what Rosco has said.

Many of the “roads” shown on the Natmap are the legacy of survey works etc done when the maps were first compiled. These either no longer exist or have been absorbed into properties and are cut by boundary fences. I tried a Tracks less travelled in Outback NSW north of Wentworth and found all sorts of difficulties. I am continuously amazed as to what actually shows up as a major road on the Natmaps, particularly in the outback areas. According to the Natmaps, you’d reckon the Great sandy Desert was crossed or skirted by roads everywhere. The ground based realities are very different. I like your thinking and it's a train of thought I subscribe to myself but I'd urge caution when relying on the Natmaps in a lot of those outback situations

This blog outlines a few of the difficulties we had on that "roads less travelled" trip.

Bruce,
Guess they are saying there could be a few "bommies" in the way.
Mike.

yea agreed

sometimes you find a great track through the middle of nowhere

and sometimes all you see is locked gates and bleep off or die sighns and sometimes the track just fails to continue

by all means have a go but make sure you have back up plans for access

I probably should have put "as an example". And this is what feedback I was after, We tried to take a short cut from Wandoan to Durong South on our way home once and run into the locked gate situation.
But there may be some tracks out there that are open, it would be great info to have.
Rossco I do not think they are allowed to shoot you any more, but out there they might and no body would find you hahahahaha.
